I got the photos back from Sunday's shoot and got a few things I can use, I think. One thing is, that outdoor light is HARSH, man. Not sure what the deal is, actually. My headshots were all done in natural light. Maybe they coated the lens in vaseline. But here are a few.
They sent us a link to everyone's shots and I've got to say, them models really know what they're doing. They gave me a chance to give a big range of expressions in the closeups and I think they varied from smile with teeth to smile with no teeth, from head cocked to the left to head cocked to the right.
But the models were doing all kinds of crazy stuff. Which I should have done. And I can do, but generally I need more prompting. It's not right there close to the surface ready to pop out. I think it was the same way with my headshots. I pretty much only did expressions and poses that I thought I could turn into headshots. But that's me being too results-oriented as always. Acting goofy loosens things up and relaxes you, which helps give the more "standard" shots a little more life and animation.
